I'm just kind of amazed that the Daily News somehow didn't find a way to link the story with a laudatory piece on another NSA graduate . . . perhaps there's hope after all for journalism on the Palouse.<br><br><font style="" color="#8064a2"><font style="font-size:12pt" size="3"><font style="" face="Verdana">Keely<br>www.keely-prevailingwinds.com<br></font></font></font><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: thansen@moscow.com<br>Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:13:48 -0800<br>To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>Subject: [Vision2020] Moscow Food Co-Op News is Relevant to the Community<br><br><div></div><div>Courtesy of today's (January 28, 2012) Moscow-Pullman Daily News with thanks to Bill London.</div><div><br></div><div>------------------------------</div><div><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;line-height:24px"><h1 style="font-size:24px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:normal;font-style:inherit;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:34px;color:black;background-image:none;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font:normal normal bold 24px/27px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial">Moscow Food Co-op news is relevant to community</h1><p style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:16px;color:black;background-image:none;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font:normal normal normal 17px/24px 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial">In his letter to the editor (Daily News, Jan. 25), Jonathon Smith urges this newspaper to not publish "gossip" like the article of Jan. 20 about the departure of the new general manager of the Moscow Food Co-op.</p><p style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:16px;color:black;background-image:none;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font:normal normal normal 17px/24px 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial">Smith is wrong. That article is just what we expect and deserve from the Daily News - local news, news about events relevant to our community. The Moscow Food Co-op is an $8 million per year business, the largest retail establishment downtown and clearly the anchor store for downtown Moscow. Changes in the management, especially in relation to the article about the "ruckus" involving the Co-op's board eligibility rules printed a few days earlier, are important to the 6,000 members/owners of the Co-op as well as the rest of the community.</p><div class="ecxencrypted-content" style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline"><p style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:16px;color:black;background-image:none;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font:normal normal normal 17px/24px 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial">The fact that the article was "light on details" about the manager's departure is not the fault of the newspaper. The Co-op, like virtually every institution in the U.S., keeps personnel matters confidential due to legal requirements. If the Co-op and the manager won't talk, there's not many details to print. However, the article certainly was not gossip. The facts were checked and the context verified.</p></div><div class="ecxencrypted-content" style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline"><p style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:16px;color:black;background-image:none;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font:normal normal normal 17px/24px 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial">Bill London</p></div><div class="ecxencrypted-content" style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline"><p style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:16px;color:black;background-image:none;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font:normal normal normal 17px/24px 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial">Moscow</p><p style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:16px;color:black;background-image:none;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font:normal normal normal 17px/24px 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial"><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;line-height:normal">------------------------------</span></p><p style="font-size:17px;outline-style:initial;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;float:none !important;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-style:initial;border-color:initial;font-weight:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;line-height:16px;color:black;background-image:none;background-attachment:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font:normal normal normal 17px/24px 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial"><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;line-height:normal">Checked facts?
